LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS-COURT, nunAr, Nov. S. Sir Joi Cort.s.y took his sent this evening for the first time sinee'his appointment. The curiosity to be present at the open ing of the Court was so great, that before six &clod, the hour ap pointed for its sitting, the outward doors were ordteed to be closed, the Court:being already inconveniently crowded. Contrary to the general expectation, the Master of the Rolls took his seat ..without making any observatiOn. GREENLAND V. GREENLAND. ThiS was a Suit originally ilistittited . by 'tinaannah Greenland, as next friend to her four infant children, to compel the, defendant, who was her half-eon, to secure to the infant plaintiffs the pay ment of certain legacies to which they were entitled under, the will of Eilw. Greenland deceased. The testator, who was a hook seller, resident near Einsbury-square, left issue by two marriages. The defendant was the eldest, eon by the last marriage, and by his lather's will was entitled to the stock in trade, and certain leasehold property, subject to legacies of 5001. to each of the children by the last marriage.. When applied to for the payment. of the legacies, he objected, on the ground that the withdrawing of so much money from his trade, would render that trade alto -Ober unprodnctive, which was a consequence the testator could never, have,contemplated. Under these eircemstances, t l - “e came before the late Master of the Rolla, ,who sugge-'4l the pro .pri an arrangement between the parties' , e n i f it wait f l u e ntly ordered, that whatever agreerne ., - it was made amid be referred to the,Master, to report wl- , ,etner the agreement secured the interest of the infant plaintifr .4. Mr. SuGnitN now presee: m d e, petition from meesre. Gee-- gory ' 4 " Son 4 that they were engaged as tors by. Stoutenah P;eeenland, the , next friends to the infants, and' that in that capacity they had procured an agreement to he; 1444110 "i c e' t'seetired the interest of the infants. They had ; 4 4$4 6 1 41 entty leuned, however, that 'Mrs. Greenland had ap pointed, h nasty solicitor, and that, with her consent, a new -a,,V.:eement..was entered into, by which the interest of the in- , .fautta was compromised, and items agreed upon which were thyttiiaineuld so favourable , to the infants as those contained in the first agreement. It was therefore to be presented, that Mrs. - ‹itreetiland, wins was said to lie very poor, had received ionic con.: siideration from the defendant for macrifieing the interest of her children. It wusg. cam of, wlicision and fraud therefore, and they prayed the Court to order that Sosannali Greenland. should be' diecharged from acting as nearest friend to the infant and that the produce•of a certain leasehold which which stood as security fur the infants' legacies, but which was lately Ohl by the defendant _under the 'surreptitious tgreement, should he paid into court. lUt.

In addressing ourselves to Sir Francis Burdett, anti choosing mining your own friendi a confidant of our griefs, we gave you a new proof of our reliance upon you, and that it was far front our thoughts to write any thing that could give you offence. Besides, we could never do you the injustice to believe you capable of sa— crificing the principles of justice and the interests of a nation for a paltry gratification of self-interest. When, above all, we had the honour of telling you, and which we again repeat, that you ought to hold the scrip you have for the account of Greece; since, were you to sell, that would he still more injurious to our scrip, and we should be obliged to buy di rectly to hinder that bad effect.

I thought so too, and was therefore dis posed-to agree to what I considered only a just settlement; but it appears that I had not communicated this to Mr. O'Brien, as he subsequently wrote me the following Extract of a Letter from Mr. O'Brien to Mr. Hume. 19, Coleman-street, 29th July, 1824. Dear Sir,- , —The Deputies requested that I would beg and en treat of . you not to part with your Scrip; they further regnested, that if you parted with it, it might be placed to the i.ccount of the Government at par. told them it was of no use, as your mind was made up to • get rid of it, anti that you would not sign any paper until it was sold. They have, therefore, authorised me to enter into your views, and take it for their Government at the market price, and I have therefore, sent into the market to ascertain what arty one man would sell 10,000 Scrip for, and although the price opened this morning at MI I found that one or two thousand only cauld'be bought at 1,5 per cent. discount, and I therefore consider, in strict justice and fairness, that about 13 per cent. ought to be the price for the 10,0001. If you approve of it, and continue in the same mind respecting the necessity of your selling the Scrip, you have only to write to me a line by the twopenny post, and I will send you a draught for the proceed. (Signed) ANDREW O'BRIEN. annex 'a copy of my answer :--. York-place, 29th July, 1824. Dear Sir,—l have received your note of this morning, inform ing me that the Deputies had requested that my Scrip, if sold, 'Should he placed to the account of their Government at par, or taken at the market price of 13 per cent., if 1 would nut allow it to be taken at par. I ern satisfied you will approve of my .determination to part with the Scrip, after what has taken place, as I can then, in all proceedings respecting the loan, (anal. foresee that they will not be few), act as between two parties, the holders and the Govern- • went, without even the possible fear of .any interested motives, as on u late occasion, being attributed. As public men, we ought to remove, not only all grounds of complaint, but even the possible grounds of suspicion;, and by the sale of my *rip, Ido so. 'I am willing to make .a sacrifice of 1,3001. to enable me to,set as I have throughout endeavoured to du, but as I have been compelled,. through the conduct of the Deputies, unwilling to do so, (by what has unexpectedly taken place,) I consider that it would only be just to allow it to go to the Greek GOverinnent at par. They will lose, and I shall be free. In whatever way, however, the Deputies determine, there will not ho the smallest change in my feelings or conduct, either to wards them or their Government and you uan send me a draft for the amount of the Scrip. Believe your's eincerely, A. O'Brien, Esq. (Signed) JOSEPH lIUME. After all this, several days having elapsed without the Deputies giving decisive orders to Messrs. Loughuan and Co., I requested Mr. O'Brien, in a letter of the 2d of August, to allow no further delay, and accordingly he transmitted to me the amount 1 had paid on the bonds, deducting 1,300/. Thus fi►r au explanation of the cause of my parting with my Greek stock. It now remains for me to show when, and under what circum stances, I accepted the reimbursement of this loss. From this time to the end of November, 'nothing further was done in this affair, although, whenever the subject was mentioned, I did not hesitate to expreis a very decided opinion that I had suf fered this loss most unjustly through the means of the Deputies. and that no dependence was to be placed either on their word or writing, 1 fr e ely acknowledge that I felt indignant and vexed at their whole conduct in this affair. In the end of November, Messrs. Orlando and Luriottis called on me in Bryeastone-square, as if to ayp a. visit of ceremony, but they took the opportunity of introducing the sale of the bands in 1,47,14'111in. and stated, that they were sorry I had been el , to suffer a loss arising from a misunderstanding on the . part , Lnut;h►►an and Co., anti that their - letters to those gen 'l,:sritintestfe joruu:itidfikesrliiottoawr,.,:iethoaft taking teir itthiteciartbioonnda:atthepatrit,nehad been to After home conversation , in which they evinced much earnest offer, viewing nt regret for what hind passed, taceepted their the more ,,,, • I .a r il e, l' l t t inatter of right rather thin of favour; arid I mention : l . stuck 110 at the time risen to about par. the other two conm enz i entation to Messrs .

As the order to pass the 10,0007. scrip to the account of the Greek Government at par; as stated Iry the Greek Deputies to have been always theft *ish 'gm Intention, can be done now, not tiny without loss, but with a profit to them, I request you will do so, as the necessity of the transfer was occasioned-by the Deputies themselves, at the tithe it toot place in July last. (Sighed) JOSEPH HUME. To Messrs. Loughnan, Son, and (Aden. and by the postscript I added to that letter wilt be seen the grounds on which I accepted this settlement. As I considered myself justly entitled to the principal, I did equally so to the Interest; for had I held the bonds to that period, I might have made a profit far exceeding the unimportant sum of 541. And now Sir, I hope I have placed this transaction in a very different light froth that ih which you, relying upon authority which has certainly misled you, were disposed to view it. The worst, I think, that any man in candour can say against my con duct in this affair is, that I may have evinced an over-anxiety to avoid a pecuniary loss, forced upon me by the conduct of others ; but I am still willing to submit to the arbitration of two respect able and impartial men ; and if, after a review of the whole cor respondence and circumstances, they shall determine that the, Greek Government ought to profit at my expence through the. Misconduct of their Deputies, I will refund the 1,300/. with in terest up to the present time. Having been obliged to mention,' with some severity, the conduct of the Deputies, I beg that my censures may be understood to apply solely to their conduct in their official capacity. In private, I have exchanged civilities with them, and found always geidlemanly and agreeable men; and with Mr. Orlando in particular, I have latterly had much in timacy, which has increased my regard for him as a private gen tleman. I have also of late had reason to believe that to want of una nimity and decision, and perhaps want of sufficient powers' from their Government, may be attributed much of the conduct which, at an early period, occasioned to the Greek Committee so much distrust of them, and induced 'it officially to address the Greek Government to replace them by more efficient agents. Not having access at this time to all the documents connected. with this subject, it is possible that on my return to town, I may trouble you with something farther, though, I believe, I have said enough in my defence for those who are disposed to judge me fairly ; and those who are revolved to view all I do through a distorted meditun, will not be convinced by any thing I can say. I am your obedient servant. JOSEPH. BUM. Snettieham, Nov. 1. Sir,—Since cunt taihaion of the statements in your paper of the 28th of last month, you have published a letter from Mr. Luriuttis, evidently intended to give plausibility to some of the Previous calumnies, of which I suppose he was also the author. I have only. to state in answer to this letter, that where theft is the least foundation of truth for any of the circumstances referred to in it, there is invariably'the most shameful misrepresentation of the fact ; and that the greater part of his tale is the pure inven tion of the worthy Deputy's fertile imagination. 1 will not add the further folly of entering into a newspaper controversy with Mr. turiottis, to the extreme indiscretion of 1011C11 I have been already guilty in mixing myk,elf up with the ;reek Deputies and their concerns. I therefore confine myself to a simple denial of the truth of his statements. When any facts are brought forward, on authority entitled to the least credit, I shall not hesitate to explain or answer them ; but as this is the last notice I shall take in this manner, of either anonymous paragraphs, or attempts of the Deputies to cover their own ►misconduct by indiscriminate imputations upon all parties, I take the opportunity of adding to it, that in the only matter of importance in which I have been personally en gaged, connected with these affairs, no blame is either Justly imputable to the gentlemen who were associated with me, or my self, for the delays that have hitherto taken place, or the ultimate failure (if that shall unfortunately be the result) of the means adopted for its accomplishment. We had uo control, were per mitted. to exercise no discretion, and have been ready on all occa sums, where our other avocations enabled us, to give every aid in Our poUrer to plans devised and settled by more competent persons than ourselves. I must say fur myself (I might for others), that front the first, and from former experience, I remonstrated in vain against confiding every thing to the engineer who was employed. But still circumstances, which may he explained hereafter, left little choice to those who adopted this measure. Further, I ap pointed a competent and exper►enced person, paid for the purpose, to watch over and control the expenditure as far as practicable, and, as I have said before, the only blame I take to myself in these transactions, is for having, in any respect, but certainly with the best intentions, directly or indirectly, interfered with them. WI, Sir, your obedient servant, EDWARD ELLICE. Jeffrey's-square, Nov. 2, 1826. Sir—l shall now proceed to remark on the sundry letters which have appeared in your journal, signed by Mr. Luriottis. The first is an attack on the Report of the Committe of bond holders, complaining of partial statements, and of the suppression of correspond ence , favourable to Mr. Luriottis. I believe there . is evidence of rip such partiality. To introduce a correspondence Of some hundred pages would have been impossible. Far from bearing heavily on Mr. jatriottie, the Report states in its third paragraph, that Mr. Luriottis haul, with one or two exceptions,, frankly conveyed the information the Conunittee desired." But most assuredly there were one or two remarkable exceptions, for I the Committee could obtain from Mr. Luriottis no satisfactory re port as. to the 4 1 800/. paid to Mr. Boufil. It was charged as broker age by the Deputies in their account current with the GreekGovern pant. But on examination, Mr. Luriottis allowed that no such bra keine had been paid. He stated that this mum was a loos sus - tabled by Mr. Bonfil on sundry speculations in sttk—. speculations ent ere d i nto f or the purpose - of giving an artificial value to the luau. But I must here beg leave to remark, that this sum was never represented as a " less on speculations," until after a previous inquiry bed taken place on the subject, in May last. It was then, that in consequence of a discussion at Mr. Ilobhouse's, at which I believe Lord J. Russell and Sir F. Burdett were present, application was made to Messrs. Blonde to ascertain the correct ness of the charge. Messrs. Ricardo instantly stated that no such brokerage had b een pa id , an d o ff e red their assistance toward s th e recovery of th e same. Th e Deputies were appli e d t o for Mr. Bonfil's receipt or account; but neither could be obtained. • If these details are s at i sfactory to M r . Luriottis, he is en titl e d to t h e full benefit of t h orn ; other exceptions to the frankness and fullness of Mt. Luriottis'fecommunicatione will appear as I proceed. There is no doubt that Mr, Luriottis didall in his power to ob tain the deposit, in the Bank of England, of the bonds held by Messrs. Ricardo and Rai ;. but it is also true, that wh en M r . Lu riottis appli e d to these gentlemen , his powers a s a G ree k D e p u ty had ceaeed, and h e h a d °received en offi cia l notification from his .Go vernment, that ho w as t h e D e puty a Greece no longer. Mr. Luriottis, with ou t a ny authority, states, that I am the author of An article entitled 4 , Greek Comtnittee," in th e W es tminster Bevielo. Ile sent lite several menacing letters, insisting eithe r on toy avowing or disclaiirsing that article. I chose to do neither, though I do not hesitate to a ssert my belief that the wholc of that article is borne out by f ac ts. I refer to it here, because Mr. Lu dottis has accused p i wipg material: exclusively and 044* dentially posssessed by the committee of bondholders, lot a pet 7 sonal purpose. A simple denial will serve to rebut the charge, until some evidence is produced to substantiate it. Mr. Luriottis repeats that he is a creditor of the Greek Govern« ment for more than 3,0001. The statement he sent to the Com mittee is as follows: Mr. Andreas Luriottis in account current with the Greek Go vernment. Due to the no- vernment as per general aetvitut £4,w 11 . 3,082 19 Cr. By an order from the Secretary Ge neral of Finance, dated Ju1y6,1625, for 4,030 dollars £BO6 0 6 Balance of Messrs. Contastavlos' ac count of 2.2 d Sep tember, for which I have given my private guarantee 1,076 2 10 To Longride, Bar nett, and Hodg son, iiitht of a vessel to be sent off this week 2OO 0 0 Commissions exe cuted for different members of the Goverment, and sums paid for its service .. , 1,553 7 2 Paid Mr. Eynard, to be employed in the service of Greece, in gold 1 20,000 dollars 4,000 0 0 £7,635 10 0 I £7,635 10 0 Now, it is Eirtainly strange, that the first stint 01 6061. should. l not have been discharged out of the loan of 1824. r never heard of this debt during my early and Cdhfidenfial intercourse with Mr. Lot iottla, at a time when he had every iriotien to mention such a elaitil Of the . 1,076/. 2s. 10d. due to Illessrg. Contostavlos, 1,0001. is t debit for an alleged breach of contract, which I have reason to believe the Greek Government had positively Mimed to sanction. The 2001. for the freight of a vessel, Mr. Lu:ivttis himself acknowledges, has not been paid. Of the charge Of 1,558/. 7s. 24., I have at present no remark to make; but as Mr. Luriottis has several times referred to the payment of 4,0001. to Mt. Eytutrd, I shall take the liberty of mentioning the circum stances connected with it, which ought to be known. When the Greek Committee were applied to by Mr. Spanio lacki to assist in the examination of the accounts of the second loan, he stated that near 10,000/. were in 'the hands of 'Messrs. Orlando and Luriottie, a sum whose immediate application, in the then alarming state of Greece, was of the greatest importance. Both Messrs. Orlando and Luriottis how ever, had on divers occasions declared, that they had no balance belonging to the Greek Government ; but, on being pressed by sundry inerobery of the committee, Mr. Orlando stated that he had pent to Greece about 5,000/., and' Mr. Luriottis recognised a debt of 4,500/. On the 11th of May the committee came to a resolution that Sir F. Burdett, Mr. Ellice, and Mr. Hobliouse, should request the Deputies either to apply this sum to the service Of Greece, or to deposit it in the Bank of England, or some other place of security. Much discussion took place on the impropriety of not appropriating so considerable an amount at a period so critical; and then it was, within ten days after the representa tions of the committee (say on the 234 of May), that Mr. Lu riottis instructed his friends at Leghorn to pay to Mr. Eynard the said sum of 4,000/. Independently of this statement, I would add, that the Go vernment of Greece his yet to be credited by Mr. Luriottis the following items : Recognized balance of the second loan £351 18 8 Dividends on bonds not passed to account 2,076 0 0 Recovered by Mr. Ralli for insurance 1,475 16 2 3,903 14 5 Besides bills for 2,2001. which Mr. Luriottis holds of Messrs. Mavroeordato's acceptances, and his share of 7,5006 of Messrs. Ricardo's commission, which (though Messrs. Luriottis may not have received it) has been assuredly paid* by Messrs. Ricardo, as appears by their accounts. In this state of things, whether it was judicious to,refuse an advance of 150/. for Captain Allen's mission to the United States, in order to expedite the sailing of the fri gates, on the ground of " having no funds belonging to the Go vernment," public opinion must decide. Having disrobed of all the matter* contained in Mr. Luriottis's first letter, I shall again have to trespass on your indulgence, and 'twain, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN BOWRING. P. S. I have just seen your leading article of to-day. May I not hope you will consent to hear all the evidence, before you pro nounce a final decision? lam sure my last letter will not bear the construction you have put upon it; I have not time to give you the correspondence respecting the 25,0001. bonds to-day ; to morrow I will state the facts, as they occurred. Mr. Luriottis says, in his third letter, that the 7,500/. was sent to Marseilles, from whence it was returned and repaid to Messrs. Ralli Brothers, in whose hands it has ever since remained. There are no such entries in Messrs. Rallis account. The fol lowing entries occur 1825—Nov. 3, paid by your order, 4,Bool.—Query, for Mr. Bonfil? Dec. 3, paid by your order, 7,500/.—Qy., Ri car d o ' s commission ? and so far from this money remaining in Messrs. Ralli's hands, their account, dated September .16, 1826, makes the Deputies debtors for a bahuice of 501. 17s. 10(1. THE ARMY.
